Dr Brian Robinson AM devoted his working life to improving Victoria’s environment, and shaping the direction of environmental protection in Australia.

complete his PhD in Chemistry at Melbourne University. After a period as a research chemist with DuPont in the UK, he returned to Australia in 1973 to play a key role in the Westernport Bay Environmental study. It was here, working on one of the largest environmental studies of its type, that he consolidated his passion for the environment and his lifelong commitment to shaping a sustainable Victoria.

Brian joined Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Victoria in 1975, and was appointed Chairman in 1986. It was he, more than anyone else, who made EPA Victoria the nation’s leading environment protection agency. For more than

and services. Over the last decade, his interests spread to identifying

engaging local communities in sustainability issues.

Recognised nationally and internationally as one of the strongest and most articulate advocates for cleaner production, Brian realised very early in his career that a robust and healthy environment was central to the prosperity of society and individual enterprise.

Guided by his commitment to serving the people, Brian remains the longest serving Chairman/CEO of EPA Victoria, and

his professional life to improving environmental health, ensuring access to reliable, relevant information about the environment, and providing people with the opportunity to participate in decisions on protecting the environment.

Sadly, Brian Robinson passed away on 1 May 2004. A valedictory celebration of his achievements was held in the Great Hall of the National Gallery of Victoria, attended by 1200 people. Politicians of all persuasions sang his praises. Bureaucrats and captains of industry spoke of his capabilities. All were unanimous in their appreciation of his ability and his charm. His sheer niceness, it seems, oiled the machinery he constructed to reconcile differing interests. He worked what miracles he could for the environment, and for people’s quality of life. Brian’s voice was loud and his passion was clear.

The commemorative Brian Robinson Lecture was inaugurated in 2009 at the 3rd International Contaminated Site Remediation Conference. In 2013, the organising committee again wishes to acknowledge the efforts of an environmental hero whose vision, ideas and leadership were a force for global sustainability. This year, the organising committee takes great pleasure in inviting Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Singapore Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, to present the commemorative Brian Robinson Lecture.

2013CleanUP


Workshop 1: Advancements in petroleum vapour intrusion investigation and mitigationCoordinated by: John Boyer Time: 8:30am – 5:00pm Location: Crown Convention Centre, Conference Hall 1

Regulatory agencies and industry are utilising vast resources on petroleum vapour intrusion (PVI) evaluations that may not be necessary due to the lack of a technical understanding of the current science. At potential PVI sites there is often uncertainty as to the best approach to assess, investigate, and manage sites. This uncertainty leads to inconsistent and slow decision making, and

of human health. The challenge is to identify those sites requiring a typical investigation and to screen out unnecessary sites while still protecting public health.

Workshop 2: Contaminated land as a legacy of mining – past, present and futureSponsored by ACTRA

Coordinated by: Peter Di Marco Time: 8:30am – 5:00pm Departure: Crown Convention Centre, Conference Hall 3

By their very nature, mining activities pose a high risk for soil and water contamination unless appropriate management practices are in place. In the past, particularly early in the last century, the approaches to sustainable environmental practices have been less than desirable, resulting in a large number of contaminated sites from the mining. Not restricted to the mining site, the contamination can also occur along transport corridors (e.g. the railway line corridor from Broken Hill to Port Pirie) and distal to the mining site because of erosion (soil and surface waters), or can leach into groundwater. The geographical distribution of the contamination may not be known or knowable. The contamination has caused disease in the past (Wittenoom, Port Pirie) and will likely do so in the future as population increases, urban areas expand and people move out of the capital cities.

Workshop 3: Integrated DNAPL site remediation strategyCoordinated by: Naji Akladiss Time: 8:30am – 12:30pm Departure: Crown Convention Centre, Conference Hall 2

This short course is based on the 2011 ITRC IDSS-1 training course Integrated DNAPL Site Strategy (www.itrcweb.org).

Workshop 4: In situ bioremediation for the practitioner Sponsored by ERM

Coordinated by: Maureen C. Leahy Time: 8:30am – 12:30pm Departure: Crown Convention Centre, Meeting Room 11

The understanding and application of biological treatment for environmental contaminants have made huge advances in the past 30 years, but many practitioners still rely on vendors of commercial products and tools for their information. This workshop is aimed at providing practitioners with an understanding of the factors involved in choosing bioremediation over other technologies, selecting the right amendments, and monitoring the performance of the implementation.

Workshop 5: Detailed site characterisation: approaches, outcomes and managing the data Sponsored by Geosyntec

Coordinated by: David Reynolds Time: 8:30am – 12:30pm Departure: Crown Convention Centre, Meeting Room 12

Site investigation is a process of reducing uncertainty, with the eventual aim of developing a conceptual site model that is appropriate for the remedial objectives of the site. While there has been a strong recent focus on developing new site diagnostic tools and approaches to characterising source zones (e.g. architecture, mass,

mass discharge) and plume behaviour (e.g. preferential

recently have generic tools been developed to help site managers, regulators, engineers and remediation scientists determine how to combine existing and new approaches to arrive at a level of site characterisation suitable for an intended purpose. Cost-effective site characterisation is important when determining the feasibility of treatment approaches, to assess process performance during operation, and to reduce the uncertainty of long-term performance through support for optimisation strategies. This workshop will focus not only on the tools for detailed site characterisation (particularly

mass discharge (www.itrcweb.org).

Workshop 7: In situ thermal remediationSponsored by TerraTherm

Coordinated by: Gorm Heron and Grant Geckeler Time: 1:30pm – 5:00pm Departure: Crown Convention Centre, Meeting Room 11

The workshop will include an overview of the theory and application of in situ thermal methods to the remediation of contaminated sites in North America and Europe, including steam-enhanced extraction, electrical resistive

conductive methods.

Workshop 8: Applying sustainability principles to remediation in Australia and New ZealandSponsored by SuRF ANZ

Coordinated by: Garry Smith Time: 1:30pm – 5:00pm Departure: Crown Convention Centre, Meeting Room 12

International and Australia/New Zealand experience

considerations in contaminated sites remediation project planning and practice provides a means to:

• demonstrate the effectiveness of a proposed project from the triple-bottom-line perspective

• meet government and societal expectations with respect to sustainable development.

Sustainable Remediation practice also has important contributions to make to emerging crossdisciplinary sustainable development practices in land-use planning

Advances in site assessment and remediation demonstrationsOne of CRC CARE’s founding purposes is to work with end users to develop the technologies they need, to not only solve their contamination problems but also lower their costs and increase their revenue. This session will introduce attendees to several of CRC CARE’s recent advances in site assessment and remediation.

Director Professor Ravi Naidu will discuss several R&D highlights. These include:

• Remediation of shooting range soils: remediated 3.5 tons of lead, saving $1.5 million dollars, at a Department of Defence shooting range in Western Australia.

• Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs): CRC CARE’s PRB technology has reduced TCE levels now declining downstream from treatment sites.

• Trybutyltin (TBT) soil and stormwater remediation using novel porous granular organoclay absorbents were able to demonstrate high levels of remediation

• Surfactant-enhanced in situ chemical oxidation (S-ISCO): With industry partners VeruTEK and Soil and Groundwater Consulting (now JBS&G), CRC CARE has developed a biodegradable, plant-based surfactant/co-solvent mixture that facilitates the desorbing of soil contaminants, making them accessible for oxidative destruction in place.

• PFOS/PFOA remediation: treatment plants based at three Royal Australian Airforce bases employing CRC CARE’s matCARE™ technology have already treated more than 1 million litres of wastewater to levels below the limit of reporting and reduced the annual cost of managing contamination by as much as 90%.

This will be followed by the introduction of four recently developed computer modelling technologies which will be showcased in sessions 2-4 via demonstrations by the CRC CARE researchers who developed them. These software packages are:

• indoorCARE™ (Dawit Bekele) – a modular vapour intrusion (VI) model that improves on existing simplistic fate and transport models of VI.

• gwsidCARE™ (Bithin Datta) – enables clean-up managers, even if they lack a detailed knowledge of the prevailing hydrology, to identify sources, rates of

• gwmndCARE™ (Bithin Datta) – in concert with gwsidCARE™, this software suggests suitable points for improved monitoring of pollutants and of the effectiveness of the clean-up operation.

• rankCARE™ (Prashant Srivastava) – uses a list

contamination risk and urgency of action for each contaminated site or area.

CRC CARE invites end users to work with them to further develop these important additions to contaminated site remediation. Such collaboration will ensure that CRC CARE provides the industry with the tools it needs

grow their businesses at the same time as achieving better environmental outcomes.

The session will also give businesses an opportunity to pressure test and use the technologies with a view to suggesting further enhancements and tailoring for better practical outcomes and adoption.

SPECIAL SYMPOSIA

Global Contamination Research InitiativeCleanUp 2013 sees the launch of an exciting venture – the Global Contamination Research Initiative (GCRI) – that aims to bring together the people, organisations and knowledge required to clean up and prevent the worldwide scourge of environmental contamination.

Contamination by the chemical products and by products of human activity is now ubiquitous across our planet. It is estimated that there are more than 3 million contaminated sites worldwide, of which the vast majority are un-remediated. Chemical contamination has been

effects or where to set the boundary.

The United Nations Environment Programme estimates current world chemical output at 20 million metric tonnes – about a third of which is thought to be toxic or carcinogenic – and growing at a rate of about 3% per year. Many countries either lack effective regulations or do not enforce them, and even in the best-run jurisdictions, both knowledge and regulation lag far behind the generation of novel chemical compounds, nano-products and electronic waste, and their release into the biosphere. The rate of clean-up of polluted sites remains far below what is needed to protect environmental and human health.

government, industry and community organisations and individuals dedicated to a cleaner, healthier and safer world. GCRI will seek to develop cost-effective, workable solutions that can be readily adopted by industry, governments and the community.

GCRI aims to be an international partnership involving

aggregate existing knowledge, develop novel assessment and clean-up technologies, advise governments and industry on ways to improve existing regulation or industry practices, train high-level experts, and share information about ways to reduce anthropogenic contamination in all facets of human society and the natural environment.

GCRI’s key areas of research may include:

• extent and circulation of anthropogenic contaminants in the Earth System

limit release of certain key contaminants

• impact of contaminant mixtures on human and environmental health and human genetics

• extent of contamination of the global food chain, resulting risks and options for prevention

• new methods for assessing and remediating contamination and bioavailability, especially in cases where pollutants cross national borders

• green production, green manufacturing and new ways to prevent future contamination

• better ways to engage society, industry and governments in understanding and sharing responsibility for global clean-up.
